Noida Traffic Police readies SOS Plans for Key Routes

To tackle emergency situations or excessive traffic pressure, the Noida traffic police have prepared SOS traffic diversion plans for Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, 130-metre road, and Surajpur, said officials on Monday, adding that all traffic personnel have been apprised about the new plan and the situations to apply it in.

"We have made as many as 22 emergency traffic diversion points for key routes in Noida and Greater Noida. Most of the points fall under Noida Expressway, as traffic pressure typically remains high on that stretch," said deputy commissioner of police (traffic) Lakhan Singh Yadav.

"The SOS plan was created to maintain the flow of traffic to avoid long snarls of vehicles," he said.

The emergency traffic diversion will be enforced when traffic personnel observe that congestion is about to build up or in a gridlock situation. During VIP movements, the traffic police can also implement this restriction on particular routes.

"There are 11 emergency traffic diversion points from Noida to the Greater Noida side on Noida Expressway, and seven from Greater Noida to Noida side. Two diversion points are located near 130-metre road, and Surajpur area in Greater Noida," according to the data provided by Noida traffic police.
